Here is a rare inside look on how our work with utilities can save utility assets, time, money, and even lives in the face of the growing threat of wildfires. A warming planet means wildfires are now a year-round threat - often in regions unaccustomed to fire events. In 2023 alone, the United States saw over 53,000 wildfires and spent $3.5 billion on suppression activities. Utilities are working overtime to protect transmission assets and keep the lights on in the face of this unprecedented threat. This article by Prisma Photonics’ Tiffany Menhorn in T&D World outlines how we worked with a utility customer in Israel to identify a brush fire near a 160KV power line. #wildfire #wildfires #gridresilience #climatechange #globalwarming #wildfireseason #fires #fireseason #wildfiresmoke #PrecisionMonitoring #GridEnhancingTechnologies #EnergyTransition #GridInnovation #PrismaPhotonics #ResilientGrid #PowerGrid #RenewableEnergy #GridResilience

The Economist discusses the unprecedented growth of solar power, predicting it will become the most significant energy source by the 2040s. However, integrating this surge into the grid requires overcoming congestion issues. The power transmission network, which must carry all this energy from efficient, green, renewable sources, simply cannot handle the load. It’s like a highway with not enough lanes. This is where #DynamicLineRating comes into play. It finds more capacity on existing power lines by monitoring them in real-time to determine their full potential. #PrismaCapacity, our #AAR and #DLR solution, uses fiber-optic sensing to provide precise, real-time insights. This helps utilities alleviate grid bottlenecks, make room for more solar energy, and support a greener and more resilient energy landscape. #PrecisionMonitoring #GridResilience #GridEnhancingTechnologies #EnergyTransition #GridInnovation #PrismaPhotonics #ResilientGrid #PowerGrid #RenewableEnergy #GridResilience #DynamicLineRating

The aftermath of Hurricane Beryl challenges #PowerUtilities such as CenterPoint Energy to enhance grid resilience and recovery efforts. Pinpointing where lines are down is usually a big step forward for a quick resolution. Using optical fiber sensing for overhead power lines, Prisma Photonics’ grid monitoring solution accurately locates affected towers and lines, facilitating quicker restorations, minimizing outage times, and improving service reliability during critical recovery phases. This enables significant utilities like CenterPoint Energy to identify and address grid damage efficiently.

We are thrilled to have participated in the #HLS Roadshow to Spain, organized by the Israel Export Institute מכון היצוא, and attended by our very own Avi Motil, Ph.D.! 🤝🌍 It was an incredible opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge #perimeter monitoring solution, PrismaHedge, to a diverse and new audience. PrismaHedge is a revolutionary approach in the world of physical security. It monitors secured perimeters and compounds using existing optical fiber, eliminating the need for extra sensors on the perimeter's edge. It identifies real-time events like on-foot activity, vehicle movement, and fence crossings, without the nuisance of false alarms.
